Solution

The correct option is B Taxon
Classification is not a single step process but involves a hierarchy of steps in which each step represents a rank or category. Since the category is a part of the overall taxonomic arrangement, it is called the taxonomic category and all categories together constitute the taxonomic hierarchy. Each category referred to as unit classification, and represent the rank and is known as a taxon.
So the correct option is "Taxon".
